Fellow Life

Health and well-being

Your health and well-being are important to us. Fellowship and life as a physician come with immense privilege and sometimes unique challenges. Mayo Clinic offers a number of resources and trained professionals who can help fellows succeed in their educational journey and beyond.

Orientation

Mental health and well-being resources for employees and learners

The Student Services office provides resources to promote academic, emotional, social, cognitive, financial, and physical well-being.

Career and academic services include academic advising, peer tutoring, and accommodations for learners with disabilities or health conditions. Mental health services include counseling, interview practice, and a variety of enrichment sessions on topics like budgeting, resiliency, and stress and burn-out are also available through the Student Services office.

We know for many applicants, the security and opportunities for not only themselves, but for their family and future family are critical. Mayo Clinic helps make it easier with benefits such as child and elder care, our employee assistance program. Learn more about career and benefits.

Our JEDI mentality: Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion

We recognize every fellow may enter our program with their own unique challenges, and we're committed to helping everyone succeed. Our institution and department support trainees who are historically marginalized or underrepresented in medicine through mentorship and open communication. Learners with physical, sensory, chronic physical health, or mental health conditions are encouraged to utilize the resources at Mayo Clinic to attain the best possible experience and training.  

We are highly supportive of JEDI research and community engagement. All fellows will rotate at The Neighborhood Christian Clinic monthly to treat uninsured and predominantly Spanish-speaking patients.
